तमिद्दो॒षा तमु॒षसि॒ यवि॑ष्ठम॒ग्निमत्यं॒ न म॑र्जयन्त॒ नरः॑ । नि॒शिशा॑ना॒ अति॑थिमस्य॒ योनौ॑ दी॒दाय॑ शो॒चिराहु॑तस्य॒ वृष्णः॑
tamiddoṣā tamuṣasi yaviṣṭhamagnimatyaṃ na marjayanta naraḥ niśiśānā atithimasya yonau dīdāya śocirāhutasya vṛṣṇaḥ
This offence, this darkness, you (men) have not cleansed, O most impure Agni. Night‑creatures, the guests of the home, the two‑born bulls of the sacrificer cried aloud — the vigorous one for the libationed offering.
Men cherish that youthful Agni at evening and at dawn, as (they tend) a horse; lighting him as a guestin his proper station; the radiance of the showerer (of benefits), to whom the oblation is offered, shines brightly.
The men have decked him both at eve and morning, Most Youthful Agni, as they tend a courser. They kindle him, a guest within his dwelling: bright shines the splendour of the worshipped Hero.
